gergasi borneo: KBH

Sunday, 14th March 2010

This trip was organized by a group called KBH( Kuching Bike Hash). To be a member, you pay RM50, if you have too much money to waste, you can pay RM 10 each time you follow them.

Wallahow we kind of surprised when some guy approached us and wanted us to pay rm 20(for 2), so expensive loh, but consider oklah because you get to know new trail and free flow of drinking water.

I asked him "why so expensive ha?"

he answered " dont worry, we dont cheat your money, your money will go to charity."

Good. Now with cycling, we can do charity beside building our calf muscle..

The Idea

A bike hash, or "bash" is a bunch of people ("bashers" or "hounds") cycling around in an area (typically communal forests, parks, countryside trails, rubber estate here in Malaysia) following bits of paper (like "paper trail") that has been laid earlier by the "hare". To make things more exciting, the paper trail includes a system of check-points ("checks") and false trails ("falsies"). A bit like treasure hunt meets orienteering, if you like, with a touch of sado-masochism thrown in every now and then. The checks and falsies also serve to keep the group more or less together in the estate and so making the hare's job of making sure all the hounds stay "found" easier.

So, that summed how the ride goes..

Below shots were taken by my camera.

Tired of waiting

Hungry..

We had to lift our bike because we had to walk on bamboo bridge. Most part of the track consist of bamboo bridge.( around 15 of them) Hats up to those who can ride their bike on the bamboo bridge.
